What's your opinion about Mistwalker?

But first things first they need to release a game that does well critically and commercially before they have any future.

Yes,i agree 100%.I don't think that they will ever have commercial success if they continue with MS but i really hope they release a game that get's at least critical acclaim.It will make things easier for them once they decide to go with another publisher.

I liked Blue Dragon myself, but it clearly isn't enough to change the 360's image. Although I don't really understand that, as if you look at RPGs both out and upcoming, the 360 has a healthy number. I don't really get why it's still considered the shooter box when it has more variety than either of the other two at the moment.

I agree that 360 has more RPGs when compared with Wii and PS3 but more than 50% of it's current library is about shooters so that's why it's still considered a shooter box.Also you said it yourself:"At the moment".Because i'm pretty sure that it won't be long before the other consoles get more RPGs (let alone JRPGs).

Ah, well. Microsoft is an American company, and Japan is never going to go ape- over that.

Yup,this is also true and that is why even mighty SquareEnix doesn't want/affraid to give exclusives to 360 (except Infinite Undiscovery).

I think LO looks good, but I belong to the J-RPG cult. Loading times alone will most likely get it terrible scores, with reports of loading being absolutely everywhere. Hell, go look at a gameplay video and you'll see that from the time battle starts to when you pick commands from a menu it's 17 seconds. That's forever. Sit back and count 17 seconds. Now imagine doing that 1000 times. Toss in that the story is most likely not going to be anything we haven't seen before and yadda yadda. Of course, that's pieced together through assumption and what importers have to say across the intrawebz, so take it for what it is.

I didn't noticed something like this in the videos that i watched,but if it's true then it will be a disaster...
